Speed reading has a marketing problem: genuine gains of 350-450 words per minute are available to most adults, while the 1,000-plus words-per-minute claims are, charitably, skimming in a trench coat. Real speed comes from reading with a purpose — preview the structure, hunt your questions, pace with a pen to stop regression, and let your eyes take phrases instead of single words. Comprehension stays the boss: faster reading that loses the plot is just walking quickly in the wrong direction.
